I started work 6 weeks ago on a 6 month fixed term contract with a view to extending at the end of that 6 months.
I received a letter from employer today saying I have now satisfied all their conditions in my contract of employment and my offer of employment is unconditional.
Does this mean they have changed my contract to permanent?
What if I dont want to become permanent or if I want to renegotiate salary before going permanent?
Any advice would be welcome thanks

As your employer he is the boss...you do as he says or you quit and find a different job. No one is forcing you, the choice is clearly yours...

I suspect that it depends what your original contract says and I would check that carefully, to be sure that what you understood as fixed term didn't cover this situation.
My understanding is that In principle, your employer should not be able to change any of the terms of your employment without your agreement, but if your original contract said something along the lines of it being automatically extended if your work was satisfactory, then you may already have agreed to it?
It sounds like they are offering you a new contract of permanent employment, but, like I said, I'd be inclined to check. Your HR department should be able to advise you and a reputable employer shouldn't mind you asking this question.

Basically, you have done what they want you to do and want to offer you the job. If you want to negotiate a new salary, go and talk to them. If you don't want to be permanent, don't accept the new offer they just sent you. They are asking you if you want to become a permanent employee, rather than a 6-month employee.

You should ask, but it sounds like they are planning to offer you a permanent position after your contract ends. Unless your contract stipulates otherwise they cannot change your employee status witout your consent.

It just means if you want to change to permanent, they won't reject you, you have an unconditional offer of permanent employment.
You are stil on a fixed term until you agree to change

The answers to your questions can be found by reading your contract - - all the fine print.

all it means is you are a good employee and they would like to offer you the job....of course you don't have to sign the new contract.
